Kidderminster-based manufacturing group Titan Europe has announced a number of changes to its board of directors.

Gary Chesterton, aged 46, currently a director of MGKT Consulting, has been appointed as the new chief finance director. He will concentrate on the group’s finance and treasury functions.

The change has been announced so that Maria Cecilia La Manna will be able to focus fully on her existing role of managing director of the group’s undercarriage division.

The group, best known for manufacturing steel wheels for excavators and heavy plant, announced earlier this year that it wanted to implement changes at board level. The new appointment reflects the start of the process.
